Anonymous Testing of Pathology Specimens for BRCA Mutations in Ashkenazi Jewish Individuals Who Have Cancer

Brief Summary
The intent of the proposed study is to describe the prevalence of the most common recurring mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, blmAsh , and the A636P MSH2 mutation among Ashkenazi Jewish individuals with a variety of cancer diagnoses. If a substantial proportion of these samples contain such mutations, future patients presenting with these diseases may wish to undergo genetic counseling and, if appropriate, formal genetic testing. The benefit from such a process would pertain mainly to the families of these individuals.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
determine the prevalence of recurring BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations
5 years
Eligibility Criteria
Cases will be identified in one of two ways. Pathology records will be reviewed for the years 1985-present. All patients with diagnoses of pancreatic cancer, uterine cancer,lymphoma, melanoma, cancer of the gallbladder and bile duct, stomach cancer, brain cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer(including DCIS) from 1985 to the present at MSKCC will be identified.
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosis of cancer made at MSKCC or collaborating institutions, AND
- Tissue block of tumor or normal margin or extracted DNA available for study and sufficient material present to allow study without exhausting block or DNA,
- Individual self-identified as Jewish on intake.

Biospecimen
Blocks or extracted DNA from patients who have identified themselves as Jewish will be obtained and a determination will be made as to whether there is adequate material to proceed without exhausting the block or extracted DNA. Four unstained sections (research specimens) or paraffin "curls" will be cut from each block. In those cases where a block containing normal resection margin or any other biopsy of normal tissue are available, tissue will be cut from this block so as to preserve tumor tissue for later investigators. It is not necessary for sections to be reviewed to confirm that tumor is present in the section, since any germline DNA is adequate for this analysis.
